The dopants of bis(trifluoromethane) sulfonimide lithium (Li-TFSI) and 4-tert-butylpyridine (TBP) in spiro-OMeTAD are significantly important for achieving highly efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). However, the volatility of TBP and hygroscopicity of Li-TFSI would accelerate the degradation process of PSCs. Herein, we demonstrated that the use of 1,6-diazidohexane (N3) in spiro-OMeTAD can retard the evaporation of TBP and avoid aggregation/migration of lithium salt, leading to an enhanced conductivity/uniformity of spiro-OMeTAD layer. Additionally, N3 can minimize the TBP-PbI2 complex formation to improve the stability at perovskite/hole transport layer interface. As a result, we achieved a champion device with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 22.7% under AM 1.5G illumination. The unencapsulated devices can maintain good stability under illumination conditions. These findings provide a new strategy for the designs of extrinsic dopants in spiro-OMeTAD to further advance the stability of PSCs.

叠氮化物添加剂可作为螺-OMeTAD 中 Li+ 和 TBP 的强大锁定剂,实现高效稳定的钙钛矿太阳能电池
螺-OMeTAD中的双(三氟甲烷)磺酰亚胺锂(Li-TFSI)和4-叔丁基吡啶(TBP)的掺杂剂对于实现高效钙钛矿太阳能电池(PSC)非常重要。然而,TBP的挥发性和Li-TFSI的吸湿性会加速PSCs的降解过程。在此,我们证明了在螺-OMeTAD 中使用 1,6-二叠氮己烷 (N3) 可以延缓 TBP 的蒸发并避免锂盐的聚集/迁移,从而提高螺-OMeTAD 层的电导率/均匀性。此外,N3 可以最小化 TBP-PbI 2复杂的形成以提高钙钛矿/空穴传输层界面的稳定性。因此,我们在 AM 1.5G 照明下实现了功率转换效率 (PCE) 为 22.7% 的冠军器件。未封装的器件可以在光照条件下保持良好的稳定性。这些发现为螺-OMeTAD中外源掺杂剂的设计提供了一种新策略,以进一步提高PSC的稳定性。
